Bast blasts Auburn Speedway
TrackChampionship
By Gen Moore
AUBURN, CA. JULY29
Bart Bast, a hometown favorite, won all of his
heats to ea rn a perfect score and win the tra ck
championship as Fast Fridays hosted its season
finale a t Auburn Speed way.
In the second heat of the evening. rivals Bast
and Sisemore, two of the top riden; at Auburn,
were pitted against each other. At the start, Bast
took the lead over Darrell Busby and John Grant
while Sisemore tail ed off last. Sisemore then
ca ug h t Busby but went do wn wh en Bu sb y
parked in turns three and four. The race contin·
ued with Bast takin g th e w in and Sise mo re
apparently scoring no points. But in a controversial move, the referee aw arded Sisemore second
p lace, tho ugh he still had lost a point to Bast. At
the end of the four· lap race Bast came aw ay with
the win an d another three p oints, while Sisemo re fell and was aw arded a second-pla ce finish
to put him down a point. A qu ick check of the
p ro gram showed that th is was to be the only
even t where the two would challenge each other
all night, an unfortunate circu ms tan ce for Sisemore, who lost onl y one po int all night agains t
Bast.
As the evening progressed, an d Bast contin-
ued his strea k, it became eviden t tha t the only
wa y Sisem ore had a chance was to win all of his
races and hope that Bast would falter and lose a
point somewhere.
But Sisemore' s chances almost vaporized
again in heat 19. In the event, Bob Hedden, the
defending track champion, came off the line like
a shot to take the lead from both Sisemore and
Dustin Schroeder. In the intensity of the battle a
tangle occurred between Sisemore and Schroeder w hich caused a restar t, g iving Sisemore a
m uch needed reprieve. A second restart wa s
needed after Schroeder looped into Sisemore
whi le the pair was coming off turn two. On the
final restart, Sisemore blasted off the line first
and led the entire race to earn three more points
and stay in the hunt. A disappointed Hedden
was still able 10 get past Schroeder and salvag e
two points, but his hopes for a repeat title grew
dimmer.
In heat 20, the very last race of th e night,
Bast wa s riding aga inst Allen Krause, Brent
Werner, and Rich Marcucci. If Werner could win
it would put him into a tie with Bob Hicks for
fourth and also put Bast and Sisemore into a tie
for fits L
This , however, was not to be, since Bast continued his super performance and took the win
easily 10 post a maximum score and become the
1994 Fast Fridays Track Champion. Sisemore
finished the night in second with 14 points and
Bob Hedden put up a good defense of his title,
finishing third with 13.
"Grea t starts, a well prepared track and good
luck are what helped me win tonight,· said Bast.
Four more for Moore

CARlSBAD, CA.JULY 16
Eddie Moore won overall in both the 250cc and
the Vel Junior classes with all four moto wins
during round three of the six·rac e Summer

The first moto of the combined 125 and 250cc
Jun ior classes began with Moore takin g the
inside line on the entrance to the main track and
earning a huge holesho t. Moore ro osted the
oth er riders in the "short chu te" on his five-yearold Yamaha on the wa y loward the first tum but
was foll owed very closel y by Jos h Warner,
Manny Aria s, Steve Reeves, an d Tim Olson in
positions second through fifth , respectively.
Moore, Warner, and Ar ias held the same
posi tions for over three laps, bu t not without a
gre a t sho w for the nearl y capacity cro wd as the

another.
Warner dogg ed Moore and tried 10 pass him
time and time again on the up hill sectio ns, but
Moore 'w ou ld la unch d own the d ow nhill sections, ga ining d istance and time . Moore nea rly
cras hed tw ice on the fam ous Carlsbad Freeway
downhill where on the first and second laps , he
mad e 4O-foot lea ps on to freshly water ed cla y
sections of the track, but he skillfully recovered
each time. Finally, on lap four, Moore pu lled
away from the pack and never looked back until
the chec.kered flag acknowledged his first-mo to
win.
The seco nd moto began with a bar-banging
charge as Joe Rempp led the pack onto the main
track with Warner, Reeves, Moore, and Eber ly
holding position s second thr ou gh fifth, respec t ivel y. As the leade rs a p p roa ched the main
gra nd stands at the end of the fits t lap, Warner
t ried to p ass Rem pp bu t nearly crashe d an d
d ropped back to third position. Many posi tions
changed during the moto, bu t the most impressive moves where made by Moore, who on th ree
sepa rate laps, made passes on the Carlsbad Freeway d ownhill. Each time, he picked up a pos ition until he had the lead and finally earned the
